    FIRSTDRAFT EXHIBITION

    Potential Energy is my upcoming exhibition at FIRSTDRAFT Gallery in Surry Hills, Sydney.

    Opening on April 29, this interactive sculptural piece explores the phenomonon of our interconnectedness.
     
    The responsive, conversational nature of the piece encourages the viewer to be
    conscious of their body and how they interact with the physical environment.

    Particles vibrating against eachother causing literal ripples in our surroundings (via hanging chains and infrared sensors). Potential Energy is a visual manfestation of our affect on physical environment.


    (Please feel free to come along to my artist talk on May 9 at 4:30pm at Firstdraft Gallery)
